How does MLR fit into the 50 Labs of Democracy? MLR, or Medical Loss Ratio, refers to the percentage of your insurance premiums that are mandated to go to care rather than administrative costs. In the medical field, MLR is governed by the Affordable Care Act. Chad helps explain the reasons that it is important that this be extended to include dental insurance.

April is Oral Health Month - and this week is National Dental Hygienists Week, so it seemed like a perfect excuse to invite registered dental hygienist Nicole Kielly back on the show. She was on a series we aired last year on dental and oral health, called Tooth Talk.

As our titles get wackier, the content keeps flowing! These patient polls are coming at us from all sides. One of the latest stated that some Florida patients (specifically women) are willing to forgo using their insurance benefits to avoid going to the dentist. That’s not great for keeping the office busy. New Mexico also wasn't very helpful by ordering another shutdown. The silver lining is that maybe you were able to finish some projects and put together some protocols for the future.    How do you feel about canceling your holiday party and having a “Christmas in July” celebration? You're not the only one! 2020 is all about adapting and making it work. Enjoy the episode!       Episode 9 Highlights Non-covered services legislation Covid-19 and shutdowns: round 2?

As one of the nation’s leading health care organizations, the ADA plays an important role in shaping the future of the nation’s oral health, supporting dentists, and representing dentistry as a whole. The ADA’s Washington, D.C. staff share how they work to advocate for oral health through legislation and lobbying efforts and how dentists can help speak with one voice, united in Washington.

Coming soon from ADPAC and the American Dental Association - Tooth Talk. Discussing everything from molars to Medicaid, bicuspids to bipartisanship, and canines to the campaign trail, Tooth Talk covers the most important dental news in Washington, D.C. and around the country.

The Gang goes hard into some Tooth Talk, some Scent Chat, and Feet Discourse, everyone's invited to the Evolve 100 sword party, Orin has a complete breakdown and makes Matt Riddle step on a pepper, an exquisite episode The Winedown to break this horrid fever nightmare, Drew Gulak's dollar store action figure, an exploration inside Darby Allin's car, just what exactly DOES happen when a wrestler cums during a match?, and The Crew completely melts down.
